Don…I find your site extremely useful in my quest for a career move and in presenting the written works of Tuckman’s Model. I would like to know if I could cite your site and borrow a few survey’s and such. I am an ethical professional and will ensure you and your material and contents will be cited.
Thoughts?
Respectfully,
Bev

Thank you Don. I kinda figured out on your home page that it is okay to cite the site and use any material after I sent my request.
Great stuff and I will be checking in from time to time.
Thanks again,
Bev

When is it appropriate to have one larger, rather huge lesson versus two smaller lesson subsets? What steps and/or questions would you ask to make the determination, which approach would be best? Thanks so much Don.

Deb,
If this is a question for a test, then I’m not sure asthis is not a text book answer. However, the MAIN reason we chunk lessons into smaller objects is for the benefit of the learners. See http://nwlink.com/~donclark/agile/agile_learning_design.html.
Thus the only reason we would not chunk it (divide it up) is if it benefits the learners by leaving it in a large unit.
This principle overrides all other principles because the reason we create learning content/context in the first place is assist the learners, NOT to create reusable learning objects, etc.
I hope this helps – Don

Don,
I am an M.Ed student doing my thesis on the topic related to learning style preferences and their achievement in mathematics. In my study your site helped me a lot. I found your vak learning style survey useful for my experimental study. I am asking your permission to use it. Also I have a doubt how to write the reference. I think you will help me. Thank you.

Looking for a good definition for “Training Appraisal”. Does anyone have one – Thank You
April 15, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Andrew,
Is Training Appraisal the same as Training Evaluation? If so, Allison Rossett & Kendra Sheldon define it as the process of examining the program or process to determine impact, what’s working, what’s not, and why. It also determines the value of programs and acts as blueprints for judgement and improvement. In “Beyond the Podium: Delivering Training and Performance to the Digital World, 2001, p 102).

Hello, seems you may have a typo under Completing the Zen in Performance Management in Flow Rather than Script portion. See “quite is flexible” in the paragraph below.
By the way, great info….I enjoy it tremendously.
Canto Ostinato has become a metaphor for a new approach to design (Thackara, 2005). The composer, score, musicians, stage, and audience all interact in subtle, yet complex ways. Neither the musicians or the audience knows exactly what will happen next as the arrangement is quite is flexible. But they are not flying blindly as there are principles and to a point, a score. The situation itself, in a sense, becomes designed.

Thank you Marc, I will get the typo fixed.

don, your site is awesome! I am an Instructional Design Consultant and have a client that is implementing the Agile process for their software business and I’m developing the training for their employees. I want to apply the Agile process to my training development process(and ADDIE). I’m new to Agile and Scrum so I searched all over the internet for information on this. I could not find much, but you have it! Thank you! Have you considered writing a book? I can’t believe that ASTD doesn’t have much. If you have more references to other information on this, please let me know!
I found your site from the Upside Learning Solutions Blog, 3rd on the top 47 learning blogs they follow. Congratulations! I’m so happy I found it. You have a large amount of work collected here!
I’m seriously thinking of starting a blog on my experience implementing the Agile process to training development as I work through this project. You have inspired me! Keep up the great work!
